Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.0575 Per Common Share Declared
SANTA ROSA, Calif., Oct. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Luther Burbank Corporation (NASDAQ: LBC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Luther Burbank Savings (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $12.1 million and $34.5 million, or $0.21 and $0.61 diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to net income of $17.7 million and $49.0 million, or $0.42 and $1.17 EPS, for the same periods last year. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings and pro-forma EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $17.7 million and $51.5 million, respectively, and $0.21 and $0.61, respectively, compared to $19.9 million and $46.0 million, respectively, and $0.25 and $0.70, respectively, for the same periods last year.
Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings and pro-forma EPS, both non-GAAP financial measures, are presented because management believes these financial metrics provide stockholders with useful information for evaluating the profitability of the Company. In addition, management believes it enhances the comparability of the Company’s financial results by eliminating the tax differences associated with the Company’s change in tax status from S-corporation to a C-corporation. The Company revoked its S-corporation status in December 2017. A schedule reconciling our GAAP net income to pre-tax, pre-provision earnings and pro-forma EPS are provided in the tables below.
John G. Biggs, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I'm pleased to announce our financial results for the third quarter. We completed the quarter at a record high total assets of $6.7 billion, representing growth of almost $1 billion since the beginning of the year. The majority of this growth has been in our loan portfolio, which increased by $884 million, and was funded by a $993 million increase in our deposits. The strength of this growth has contributed to net interest income increasing by 12% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period last year. In addition, our credit quality has continued to improve with total non-performing assets declining by over 68% from December 31, 2017. I'm also proud that we remain one of the most efficient banks compared to our industry peers with an efficiency ratio of 46%.”
Mr. Biggs continued, “Since opening in June 2018, our Bellevue, Washington branch has grown its deposit portfolio to $55 million at September 30, 2018. The successful performance of this newly opened branch and our strong quarterly financial results are encouraging trends as we head into the final quarter of the year and further support the progress made in connection with our longer-term initiatives to expand the footprint of the Bank's franchise. Furthermore, we recently announced the approval of a $15 million stock repurchase program, which provides us the flexibility to opportunistically acquire our common shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions. To date, we have not acquired any shares under the repurchase program.”
Board Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.0575 Per Share
On October 25, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0575 per common share. The dividend is payable on November 15, 2018 to shareholders of record as of November 5, 2018.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 totaled $31.7 million compared to $31.2 million for the previous quarter and $28.8 million for the same period last year. The $553 thousand, or 1.8%, increase in net interest income from the prior quarter was primarily related to growth in the average balance and yield of our loan portfolio, which increased by $282.3 million and 11 basis points and, to a lesser extent, a decrease of $276.6 million in the average balance of FHLB advances. This was partially offset by a $573.4 million increase in the average balance of our deposits, as well as increases in costs of deposits and FHLB advances, which increased by 26 and 21 basis points, respectively. The $3.0 million, or 10.3%, increase in net interest income over the same period last year was primarily related to growth in the average balance and yield of our loan portfolio. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the average balance of loans increased by $729.0 million and the yield increased by 35 basis points, compared to the same period last year. This increase was partially offset by growth in the average balance of our deposits of $1.1 billion and increases in the cost of funds in connection with deposits and FHLB advances of 53 and 88 basis points, respectively. Net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was 1.94%, compared to 2.00% for the previous quarter and 2.02% for the same period last year. The decline in net interest margin from these previous periods primarily relates to increases in our cost of funds as a result of rising interest rates. Cost of funds increased by 20 basis points and 54 basis points, respectively, compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $93.3 million compared to $83.3 million for the same period last year. The $10.0 million, or 12.0%, increase in net interest income over the same period last year was primarily related to growth in the average balance and yield of our loan portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the average balance in loans increased by $662.1 million and the yield increased by 31 basis points, compared to the same period last year. This increase was partially offset by growth in the average balance of our deposits of $769.9 million and an increase in the cost of funds in connection with our deposits and FHLB advances of 38 and 75 basis points, respectively. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 2.01% as compared to 2.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The 4 basis point decline primarily relates to a 42 basis point increase in our cost of funds as a result of rising interest rates.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 totaled $1.0 million, compared to $817 thousand for the previous quarter and $4.9 million for the same period last year. The increase of $226 thousand in noninterest income, or 27.7%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the linked quarter ended June 30, 2018, was primarily attributable to a gain on sale of loans of $140 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, as well as an increase of $113 thousand in FHLB dividends as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease of $3.9 million in noninterest income, or 78.8%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2017, was primarily attributable to a gain on sale of loans related to the Company's securitization completed in September 2017. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized gains in connection with the sale of loans of $3.7 million.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $2.9 million, compared to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As discussed above, the decrease, as compared to the same period last year, of $3.1 million, or 52.0%, was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of loans related to the Company's securitization.
Noninterest income primarily consists of FHLB stock dividends, fee income and the financial impact related to loans sold and loans held for sale.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 totaled $15.1 million compared to $14.9 million for the previous quarter and $13.8 million for the same period last year. Compared to the linked quarter, noninterest expense increased $168 thousand, or 1.1%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Compared to the same period last year, noninterest expense increased $1.3 million, or 9.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase of $982 thousand in marketing expenses related to costs associated with deposit gathering efforts. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $44.7 million compared to $43.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of $1.4 million, or 3.2%. As discussed above, this increase is primarily related to marketing expenses incurred in connection with our deposit gathering efforts.
Noninterest expense primarily consists of compensation costs, as well as expenses incurred related to occupancy, depreciation and amortization, data processing, marketing and professional services.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets at September 30, 2018 were $6.7 billion, an increase of $988.0 million from December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $884.2 million, or 17.5%, increase in loans and a $111.3 million, or 22.1%, increase in available for sale investment securities. Total liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $6.1 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively. The increase of $966.4 million, or 18.7%, was primarily attributable to growth in our deposits of $992.7 million, or 25.1%, compared to December 31, 2017.
Loans
Total loans at September 30, 2018 were $5.9 billion, an increase of $884.2 million from December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to originations of multifamily and single family residential loans. Our loan portfolio generally consists of income property loans (IPL) and single family residential (SFR) mortgage loans, which represents 62.2% and 37.5%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio.
Our IPL portfolio primarily consists of hybrid multifamily residential and commercial real estate loans. IPL loans totaled $3.7 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2017. The yield on the IPL portfolio was 3.94% and 3.84%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 3.54% and 3.50%, respectively, during the same periods last year. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, IPL loan originations and the corresponding weighted average coupon totaled $291.4 million and $936.2 million, respectively, and 4.72% and 4.54%, respectively, compared to $298.7 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, and 4.08% and 4.00%, respectively, for the same periods last year. The increasing yield was caused by both a general rise in interest rates and a greater proportion of loans originated in extended and non-core geographies as compared to the prior fiscal year. Prepayment speeds within the IPL loan portfolio were 11.2% and 7.8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 7.8% and 10.7%, respectively, during the same periods last year.
Our SFR loan portfolio generally consists of hybrid loans. SFR loans totaled $2.2 billion and $2.0 billion at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The yield on the SFR portfolio was 3.61% and 3.49%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 3.32% and 3.24%, respectively, during the same periods last year. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, residential loan originations and the corresponding weighted average coupon totaled $162.7 million and $630.5 million, respectively, and 4.99% and 4.66%, respectively, compared to $193.1 million and $505.4 million, respectively, and 3.90% and 3.96%, respectively, for the same periods last year. The increase in SFR originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to a general increase in customer demand while the increasing yield was caused by a combination of rising interest rates and a greater percentage of niche product originations. Prepayment speeds within the SFR loan portfolio were 24.5% and 23.5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 23.8% and 25.0%, respectively, during the same periods last year.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans totaled $2.2 million, or 0.04% of total loans, at September 30, 2018, compared to $7.0 million, or 0.14% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. There was no real estate owned at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, loan loss provisions of $650 thousand were recorded compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter and $1.6 million for the same period last year. The lower loan loss provision recorded during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter and the same period last year was primarily attributable to a decline in loan growth compared to these prior periods. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, loans increased by $190.9 million compared to $408.5 million and $324.0 million for the linked quarter and the same period last year, respectively. The change in loans during the three months ended September 30, 2017 excludes the impact of loans sold in connection with the Company's securitization in September 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, loan loss provisions of $3.5 million were recorded compared to a reversal of provisions for loan losses of $4.6 million during the same period last year. The provision for loan losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to loan growth. The reversal of loan loss provisions recorded during the same period last year was due to improvements in the credit metrics of our loan portfolio.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses and other assets totaled $64.7 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $7.5 million or 13.2%. The variance was primarily attributable to a $5.2 million increase in accrued interest receivable resulting from growth in our loan portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Prepaid expenses and other assets primarily consist of prepaid expenses, accrued interest receivable, premises and equipment and tax related items.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $4.9 billion at September 30, 2018, an increase of $992.7 million from December 31, 2017. Retail deposits represented 74.9% of the growth, or $743.4 million, while wholesale deposits represented 25.1%, or $249.3 million. Our cost of deposits was 1.62% and 1.40%, respectively, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 1.36% during the prior quarter and 1.09% and 1.02%, respectively, during the same periods last year. The change in our cost of deposits was primarily related to cost increases in our time deposit portfolio. Time deposit rates increased to 1.94% and 1.70%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 1.31% and 1.23%, respectively, for the same periods last year. The increase in time deposit rates was primarily due to rising interest rates, as well as competitive pricing pressures.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity totaled $571.4 million, an increase of $21.7 million, or 3.9%, compared to December 31, 2017. Stockholders' equity represented 8.5% of total assets at September 30, 2018, compared to 9.6% at December 31, 2017. Both the Bank’s and the Company’s capital levels continue to be significantly above the minimum levels required to be designated as “well-capitalized” for bank regulatory capital purposes. At September 30, 2018, Tier 1 leverage, Common Equity Tier 1 risk based, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital ratios were 10.85%, 18.66%, 18.66% and 19.58%, respectively, for the Bank, and 9.63%, 14.94%, 16.55% and 17.47%, respectively, for the Company. At September 30, 2018, the Company’s tangible stockholders' equity ratio was 8.49%.

(1) Prior to January 1, 2018, we calculate our pro forma net income, earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity and return on average tangible equity by adding back our franchise S Corporation tax to net income, and using a combined C Corporation effective tax rate for Federal and California income taxes of 42.0%. This calculation reflects only the change in our status as an S Corporation and does not give effect to any other transaction. For periods in 2018, our actual provision for income taxes is used for comparative purposes.
